Ep. 7: Luke and companions face Sync and Largo at Zao Ruins while Asch fights Luke.
Luke and his party reach the Zao Ruins, where Asch attempts to use Ion to open the Daathic Seal. Sync and Largo intervene, battling the group to stop their progress. Asch joins the conflict, engaging Luke in a sword duel where their techniques perfectly mirror each other. A final clash creates a hyperresonance that endangers the ruins, forcing everyone to flee. Later, as the group prepares to board their ship, Guy collapses with a strange glyph on his arm, which Ion identifies as a curse slot placed by Sync. Legretta confronts the party, criticizing their blind adherence to the Score before departing. Luke then has a childish outburst, prompting Tear to coldly advise him to think independently, warning that failure to do so will lead to an irreversible mistake.
